Cambridge. July 13. Last Sabbath a trumpeter came from the
enemy's army with a letter from General Burgoyne to General
Lee, and was conducted, blindfolded, by our guards, to the
head-quarters in this town. After delivering the letter he
was permitted to return. . .
[other news, then:]
Last Saturday morning, before day-light, a party of our
men marched towards the enemy's advanced guards on Boston
Neck, drove them within their lines, burnt their guard-house
(formerly the dwelling-house of Mr. Brown) with several
contiguous buildings, took two guns, a halbard, and a drum.
